Abstract: Naturally sedimentary soils, such as marine clays, weathered residual soils, and glacial deposits, usually possess a certain amount of sand particles. These types of soils could be classified as sandy clay, because the ...

Abstract: Strengthening using large-rupture-strain fiber-reinforced polymer (LRS-FRP) laminates can effectively enhance the deformation and energy absorption capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) components under static and seismic ...

Abstract: Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems have been widely used to strengthen concrete structures. To further study the flexural strengthening of concrete beams with prestressed CFRP plates, flexural tests of large-scale ...
